MY CAR HAS OIL LEAK. I WENT TO PUENTE HILLS VOLKSWAGEN FOUR TIME. AFTER REPLACE TWICE REAR SEAL AND OIL SEPARATOR. THE ENGINE IS STILL LEAK. I WENT TO LOCAL MECHANIC TO DO INSPECT. THE LEAKING IS JUST FROM BIG LEAK TO SMALL LEAK. I DID TAKE A PICTURE AND EMAIL TO VW USA. THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. EVEN WITH WARRANTY REPAIR, THE CAR COULD NOT FIX.

TAKATA RECALL ISSUE I HAVE A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT WITH A MALFUNCTIONING CLOCK SPRING. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE INFORMING ME THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD BREAK, ESPECIALLY NOT AFTER 30 MONTHS. VOLKSWAGEN HAS FAILED TO RESOLVE THEIR CLOCK SPRING ISSUE. THEY ARE PUTTING MY FAMILIES SAFETY AT RISK, AND HAVE NO CONCERNS WITH RESOLVING THE ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ESCALATED AS OTHERS SAFETY COULD BE AT RISK.

I DRIVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 30, 000 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION JAMMED WHILE THE CAR WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS DUE TO A CLUTCH THAT HAD BROKEN INTO PIECES AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. AS A SEASONED DRIVER OF MANUAL CARS, HAVING DRIVEN ONES WITH >100, 000 MILES ON THEM I HAVE NEVER FACED SUCH A DANGEROUS AND UNEXPECTED DISINTEGRATION OF THE CLUTCH IN A CAR THAT HAS ONLY 30, 000 MILES ON IT. KEEPING IN MIND THE KIND OF TAMPERING AND MISHANDLING THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BREAK A CLUTCH I COMPLAINED TO VW ABOUT THIS AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HELP. INSTEAD I AM LEFT WITH A HEFT BILL TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, AND, WILL PROBABLY NEED TO BUY A NEW CAR ANYWAY AS I WOULD NOT ENDANGER MY LIFE AND THAT OF MY CHILDREN DRIVING A CAR WITH SOME SERIOUS ENGINEERING AND/DESIGN ISSUES THAT VW WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THE CAR ALSO HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH I INFORMED VW ABOUT; THE PARKED CAR WITH THE PARKING BREAKS ON WHILE TURNED OFF ROLLS OFF ON THE MOST GRADUAL SLOPES AND ONTO THE STREET.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL YESTERDAY IN MY MAIL FOR MY VW PASSAT'S TAKATA AIRBAGS. AFTER READING THE LETTER IT SEEMED PRETTY IMPORTANT THAT I GET THE CHANGE MADE SO I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY VW DEALERSHIP TO ASK THEM TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. UPON INFORMING VW OF THE LETTER AND THEM REVIEWING MY VIN NUMBER, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE REPLACEMENTS IN STOCK AND THEY WERENT SURE WHEN THEY WOULD BE IN. I ASKED THEM TO CALL ME WHEN THEY COME IN AND THEY SAID THEY CANT DO THAT AND FOR ME TO JUST CALL BACK IN A WEEK TO SEE IF THEY'VE COME IN. SHOCKED, I ASKED THE PERSON AM I JUST SUPPOSED TO RIDE AROUND PRAYING AND GAMBLING THAT I DON'T GET HIT OR HIT SOMETHING SO THAT MY AIRBAG DOESNT GO OFF AND HARM ME? TO WHICH THE PERSON TOLD ME, THE AIRBAGS WORK FINE ITS ONLY A RECALL BECAUSE THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO ISSUES. IM SORRY BUT THAT IS NOT SAFE AND OR ACCURATE. SO IN THE MEANTIME, IM RIDING AROUND WITH AN AIRBAG THAT HAS A RECALL AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GO OFF AND METAL FRAGMENTS COULD COME THROUGH THE BAG WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ME AND ANY OCCUPANTS (USUALLY MY TWO KIDS). IS IT ME OR IS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH THIS? I NEED TO KNOW HOW URGENT THIS IS TO GET REPLACED AND GET THIS DONE IMMEDIATELY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE 5 IN THE LA AREA AND WITHOUT WARNING, MY CAR STARTED JERKING AND LOST POWER. I WAS STUCK ON THE FAST LANE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR IN FRIDAY AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A VW DEALERSHIP AND THE DIAGNOSIS CAME BACK AS METAL IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS DUE TO THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (HPFP) FAILING. WHAT WAS MOST DISTURBING WAS WHEN I WAS INFORMED THAT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM, COSTING ME $7,500. MY CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 75K MILES SO I WAS BLOWN AWAY! I CALLED NUMEROUS MECHANICS AND ALL TOLD ME THEY'VE SEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON VW AND AUDI VEHICLES. I WENT ONLINE TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND A NUMBER OF FORUMS WITH VW CUSTOMERS WITH IDENTICAL PROBLEMS. ALL COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HPFP FAILING AND THEN RESULTING IN METAL IN THE FUEL SYSTEM, CAUSING AN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL SYSTEM. I ALSO READ THAT VW HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY OF THE HPFP ON EARLIER MODELS DUE TO SIMILAR PROBLEMS. IT IS CLEAR THAT VW HAS STILL NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM ON ITS NEWER MODELS AND NEEDS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY OR ISSUE A RECALL. THEY ARE SELLING FAULTY CARS THAT ARE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND REQUIRE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FIXES. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. HERE IS THE FORUM WITH THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR ISSUES FROM OTHER VW CUSTOMERS: HTTPS://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/VEHICLECOMPLAINT/?_GA=1.28961404.1963426351.1491430895

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TAKATA SDI DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG IN APRIL 2016. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH VOLKSWAGON SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR AND AM ALWAYS TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THE INFORMATION ON YOUR WEBSITE INDICATES THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE DEFECT AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY SHOULD I HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT. I UNDERSTAND THE RECALL IS MASSIVE, AS I UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM IS IF THE AIRBAG DEFLATES IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AS I THINK A YEAR OF WAITING IS IN EXCESS AND SHOULD HAVE SOME URGENCY PLACE ON HAVE THE ISSUED RESOLVED.

I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN, SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION, TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD BY THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS. I CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN USA HEADQUARTERS AND WAS TOLD THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH VOLKSWAGEN BUT THAT WENT NOWHERE. MY COMPLAINT WAS "NOTED". I ASKED LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AS VOLKSWAGEN USA FOR A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THEY CAN FIX MY RECALLED AIRBAG(S) AND I WAS TOLD THEY DON'T DO THAT. I ALSO FILED A BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU COMPLAINT ON 8/1/16 AND THAT WAS DROPPED. WHEN VOLKSWAGEN RESPONDED TO MY BBB COMPLAINT, THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY HAVE REVIEWED THE SERVICE HISTORY ON MY VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT REQUIRES ATTENTION AT THIS TIME. I HAVE TRIED TO GO BACK TO LOCATE MY COMPLAINT AND THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED, BUT THE LINK IN MY EMAIL SAYS IT IS NO LONGER VALID. THE CUSTOMER REP AT VOLKSWAGEN HEADQUARTERS THAT I SPOKE TO TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE AIRBAG BECAUSE NO ONE IN CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN INJURED FROM THE FAULTY AIRBAGS. I DON'T WANT TO BE THE TEST DUMMY WHEN THE AIRBAG ON MY CAR FAILS. I DON'T CARE THAT NO ONE ELSE IN CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN INJURED BY A VW AIRBAG. WHAT IF I AM THE FIRST? THE FACT IS IT IS RECALLED FOR BEING A DEADLY SAFETY HAZARD AND VW HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT OR OFFER A SAFE SOLUTION IN THE MEAN TIME. IF THEY CAN'T REPLACE IT BECAUSE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, THEN THEY SHOU

TAKATA RECALL - MY AUTOMOBILE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR OVER A YEAR. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR OF THE NHTSA WEBSITE INDICATING THAT THE REPAIR PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE, I DISCOVERED TODAY ON THE WEBSITE THAT THE PART IS FINALLY AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. UPON CONTACTING MY LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE PART IS IN STOCK; HOWEVER, VW HAS PLACED ME IN "GROUP 6" AND THAT NOTWITHSTANDING THE PART BEING AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, VW HAS INSTRUCTED THE DEALERSHIP TO ONLY REPAIR CARS IN GROUPS 1 THROUGH 4. I WAS TOLD THAT I MUST WAIT UNTIL AT LEAST SEPTEMBER, 2017, FOR THE PART TO BECOME AVAILABLE, WHICH WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 19 MONTHS SINCE THE INITIAL RECALL.

THE SALESMAN TOLD ME THAT " THERE ISN'T A FIX YET". WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? VW NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF THE RECALL. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE IT IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG IN QUESTION. I AM ON THE INTERSTATES EVERY WEEK AS I AM IN SALES. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE EXCEPT NOT BUY THE VEHICLE.
